RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKING
The plip remote control1locks and
unlocks the doors.
It is supplied with power by a
battery which has to be replaced
when the battery tell-tale light2no
longer illuminates. (Refer to the
information on the radio frequency
remote control batteries.)
Locking/unlocking the doors
Press the remote control for
approximately one second to lock or
unlock the doors. (Tell-tale light2
will illuminate.)
- The hazard warning lights flash
twiceto indicate that the doors
have beenlocked.
Note:Depending on the vehicle, if
either a door or tailgate is open or
not properly closed or if a rear
interior light remains in the
“continuous lighting” position
(see information on “interior
lights” in section 3), the hazard
warning lights will not flash.
- The hazard warning lights flash
onceto indicate that the doors
have beenunlocked.
The range within which the
remote control will operate
This varies according to the
environment: therefore take care
when handling the remote control
that you do not inadvertently lock
or unlock the doors.
Note:On certain vehicles, if a door
is not opened within approximately
30 seconds of unlocking the door
using the remote control, the doors
will lock again automatically.
Interference
Interference may be caused to the
operation of the remote control by
factors in the immediate vicinity
(external installations or the use of
equipment operating on the same
frequency as the remote control).If you lose your keys or need
another set of keys (or a remote
control),contact your Renault
Dealer.
• If a remote control unit is
replaced, it will be necessary to
take the vehicle to your Renault
Dealer because both the vehicle
and all the remote control units
are needed to initialise the
system.
• No more than two remote controls
can be used on one vehicle.
• Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition - they
last for approximately two years.
